Why am I writing this poem?

I don't know what to write
So I'll just write what comes to mind
I hate poetry
But I have to
It's for school...
So, this counts, right?

Why would you write this?
What is the point?
I just don't get it.

Joy

The birds sing and swoop through the valleys

The fish glide freely,

Singing.

Flowers bloom proud
Kittens purr with content
Puppies jump and yip in gleeful tones
Kites soar higher in the crisp autumn sky
Bright with joy,
Joy.
A song of songs!
